One of the reasons why most people don’t go for vacations is because they have a mentality that going out for holidays is expensive and it is an activity only practical to the rich in the society. In real sense, vacations are very much affordable especially in East Africa. With me are a few ideas you can explore for unique affordable vacations

Joining up forces

This simply means you form a team of people and together raise a certain amount of money that will be enough for you to comfortably spend then go out together on a vacation. Not only will you have managed to easily come up with the finances needed but the more the people you experience holidays together with the more fun it becomes.

Saving up for a vacation

Saving is usually one of the best way to achieve something financially that you couldn’t at once. You can open up a savings account or just save in your own way till you are able to reach the particular amount of money that you need. Saving however requires a lot of self-discipline in order to achieve the intended goal.

Visit places that are pocket friendly

Go on a multi-billion dollar get away only if you can afford it. There is no point of going out and having fun only to come back and start battling with debts. The pressure you will get trying to settle your arrears will council out the relaxation you got. You can never miss something that is affordable and friendly to your pockets.

Research on the various companies offering affordable travel insurance instead of using thousands of dollars purchasing one yet there was a cheaper option.

Spend when it is necessary

Who said you have to pay for a very expensive hotel in order to visit the beach or have a taste of the tasty cuisine they have? There are public beaches which you can visit free of charge. You can also Google the recipes the chiefs in those luxurious hotels use and prepare your self-something mouthwatering.

Come up with your own vacation plans

This basically means come up with your own way of enjoying your holiday. You don’t have to visit the most expensive hotels or the most popular sites in East Africa to call it a vacation. Rather, you can call your family and friends for barbecue, relax and have fun. Come up with games to play or go watch an interesting movie at the cinema.

Use your holiday as an opportunity to give back to the society

Do the unexpected, be unique. Everyone will run to the beach, go visit wild animals, visit some amazing sceneries etc but won’t remember the less privileged in the society. You can choose to use the little you Have and make your vacation unique. Go visit the elderly, orphans or prisoners, interact with them and have fun. This will be relaxing and a source of joy not only to you but those you show kindness to as well.

Don’t choose to do what everyone does for their holidays. Be distinct and find other means to enjoy, relax and have a good time. Remember that u can have an amazing vacation without having to spend billions of dollar; work with what is pocket friendly to you.

You don’t want to go on a trip to relax and enjoy yourself only for you to get so bored that you can’t wait to get back home. Your vacation may end with you not having achieved what you intended or things may completely not go your way. Here are a few tips that will help you be able to make the most out of your vacation.

Know what kind of vacation works for you

Why go to the wild if you have a phobia of wild animals or to the mountains if you get health complications when exposed to cold weathers? The first step to enjoy your vacation is to learn what works for you.

Plan in advance

Planning for your trip is very important. You should know how much money you will be comfortable spending, what kind of climate you want to spend your holiday in, the specific luxury hotel that meets your needs, the type of activities you’re planning on doing, where to purchase a travel insurance etc. Failure to plan may really mess you up. You may end up staying in a hotel that completely displeased you or in a location that you are completely uncomfortable in. So be wise and take time to plan.

Make your bookings in Advance

You don’t want to postpone your recess just because you couldn’t get a plane or a bus at the time you wanted or get the hotel of your choice. If possible make all your payments from your mode of transport, food, accommodation etc, in advance to avoid delays or disappointment.

Keep away from things that stress you

Holidays are meant to detox you from stress and this will only be possible if you keep away from things and people that pressure you. No matter how costly your tour destination is, you will not enjoy it neither get the relaxation you need if you choose to hold on to things that pressure you.

Do your research

Do not go to places you know completely nothing about. Before visiting a place make sure you know the type of climate to expect, the activities you can do while there, how safe is the place etc. For example you don’t want to find yourself in a sunny remote place in the wild yet you didn’t carry sunscreen with you. You may end up being forced to stay indoors and have a hot boring holiday.

These are just but a few major factors that you should put into consideration when planning to take some time off to your preferred destination. Your ignorance and attitude are the only things that may turn your long awaited fun vacation to a boring one. Play your role well when preparing to go on a trip and if things don’t turn out as expected, try make the best out of it.

Travelers spend months, probably some years planning a safari to Africa and to be more specific to East Africa all in the hopes of an amazing experience. And you know what? It is. There is simply nothing like sitting in a 4×4 jeep in the middle of a park, a few feet from dozens of graceful giraffes searching for leaves and the sounds of other unknown animals in the distance. This cannot be replicated in any way, it is just something you have to experience for yourself.

Well, it doesn’t have to cost you thousands of dollars for you to afford a trip to East Africa, have fun and at the same time a transformative trip. So, I decided to share my own East African safari tips to ensure that travelers don’t end up spending more dollars and ending up chewed by mosquitoes.

Be prepared

Going on a safari involves a lot of panning and saving and because of that you expect to get a lot out of your experience. You don’t have to spend so much money for a safari, all you need to do is research on the various packages different companies offer. Where to get a travel insurance for a good rate and all other things that may sound like necessities while on a safari in East Africa. When travelers are going for a safari, their expectations are high and they end up buying things they don’t need. Of course, you may need to bring some extra items just in case but don’t go overboard.

Enquire about the hotel’s operation

Enquire about any rationing when you arrive so that you can plan accordingly. I learnt this the hard way when I planned to spend a relaxing day in a camp, taking a late shower and doing some journal writing in the tent. However, after a morning filled with activity, I returned to our tent to find there was no hot water and no electricity. Once I enquired from the front desk, it was only then that they explained the hours to me.

The big five

Taking a trip to Africa is a once in a lifetime thing and what we end up doing is putting a lot of pressure on ourselves to have a perfect experience. Well, in as much such we may have all that pressure, it is important to relax as well. We all expect to see the big five and once we land in Africa, we want to see them at once. What you need to know is that seeing the big five depends on nature, the fact is that you are out amongst nature, not Disney world and nature is unpredictable. Once you fail to spot a big five, don’t get angry. Just accept it as part of the experience. I know that sucks right? But hey! Trust me the experience is one to die for.

Enjoy the experience

Make every hour of your trip memorable, you can’t afford not to have an amazing time. Make memories using your camera and your head, don’t ask how but I am pretty sure you will be able to do that. If you ever had any doubts which I can’t imagine you have, an African safari should be at the very top of your bucket list.
